Appeal Court Cites Cruel
Conditions at Wisconsin Supermax Stripped naked
in a small prison cell with nothing except a toilet; forced to
sleep on a concrete floor or slab; denied any human contact...
this might sound like a stay at a Soviet gulag in the 1930s...it
is, according to the claims in this case, Wisconsin in 2002.

who was awarded
$1.25 million by jurors will get nothing. The jury decision
was overturned on legal grounds.
